This website is dedicated
to my love of dolphins and a deep desire to protect them. It's not necessary to
physically be with dolphins to experience their playful blessings. That's why I've
created this site. So I can, through my art, bring the dolphins to you. To view my paintings simply use the links at
the top
or bottom of the page.

ABOUT THE
ARTIST:
Marina Kuran has been an artist most of her life. She
studied drawing formally, but is a self-taught painter. Although she paints a variety
of subjects, this website is dedicated to her love of dolphins. Her
passion was ignited in 1996 when she and her husband unexpectedly found
themselves surrounded by about 60 wild spinner dolphins, who put on quite a
jubilant show, in Hawaiian waters. Since that time she has been blessed by the company of wild spinner
dolphins, wild bottlenose dolphins and wild orcas (yes - they're dolphins too!) on numerous occasions. It is the intense joy
brought by these magnificent creatures and a strong desire to protect them and
our oceans that has served as inspiration for
this website.

"You
must nurture your felt love for nature. Never deny it. It is your connection
with the unifying essence that organizes, preserves and regenerates life
relationships at every level. Its loss in our thinking produces our
destructiveness and imbalance." -Michael J. Cohen
